CC65, I think, defaults to unsigned char, but it's missing some other
features. It is, however, the closest (to my knowledge) that C on the
6502 gets to ANSI starndard.

Isn't it nonstandard (although I am aware of
some compilers that do it) to
default the type of char to unsigned?
The standard allows "char" to be either signed or unsigned. The ARM ABI
defines char as unsigned.
I recall that Lattice C on the M68K allowed either signed or unsigned char
via a flag. Setting it to "unsigned" generally produced faster code on
my Amiga, though some code assumed signed chars and broke.
